I honestly want to see something like Bloom Into You or Citrus done that way, just for a laugh.

This is golden! Thanks xD

Combine it with art like this, and we're all set! (Or maybe episode 9 of Märchen Mädchen...)

Oh I have been waiting got this my lord

I reallt hate when people act entitled...

Don't think for a second that people giving criticism don't are "entitled" and don't understand what it takes to create a good translation.

We do. We're critical because we know what has to be done, this translator failed to do it, and it's someone else's work that suffers for it.

Thank you Nez-chan for educating us plebs. I don't know how I hadn't read that yet. I can fun it for myself.

This is just stupid and makes no sense.
I mean, If sushi = hamburger and japan = US, then the "kotatsu" line should be:
"Let's all enjoy a traditional American meal around this utterly regular and absolutely ordinary American table".

It's okay MrCatt.

Everyone, except a squad of grumpy seasoned readers, is glad you translated this.

And he obviously needs 6 pages of criticism until he begs on his knees that he will never translate like this again...

I think your point was made like 4 pages ago, now is just for the sake of laughing.

And it is somehow our fault that instead of doing so, people like you keep coming here defending this translation and saying we are overreacting, instead of, you know, talking about chapter.

Start talking about chapter and we will too.

I'm gonna run the next chapter through google translate and rewrite a bunch of stuff. Since I like Lovecraft, enjoy random references to it.

You guys better be grateful. I don't have to do this.

In all seriousness, the only valid point being made is that this rewrite brought some visibility to the series. I suppose that's true, but you can find a silver lining in just about anything if you look hard enough, so I don't consider it much of a counterpoint.

You can interpret the comic as saying that Ace Attorney is inconsistent with their overlocalization: they certainly overlocalize, but they don't overlocalize everything.

But if you're just nitpicking the comic I posted because you're mad we criticized your translation, then that's a classic case of "the pot calling the kettle black".

That's similar to the idea being presented in the comic.

If you read the comments written by the artist, the problem they were presenting was how the decision to turn the setting of Ace Attorney into "Los Angeles" in the first game didn't do much immediate harm to the translation, but as the games went on it became increasingly difficult to hide the rewrite.

The example they brought up was an ancient Japanese village filled with ancient thousand year old youkai (Nine-Tails Vale) in the original game, localized as "a village full of Japanese immigrants and ancient youkai that just so happened to immigrate with them into Los Angeles" because they obviously couldn't redo the entire setting for the case.

The comic makes perfect sense in that regard.

It was obvious but I guess they can't believe you're not mad

They are just all expecting (hoping?) MrCatt to be furious at the harsh criticism of his translation.

If I were him, I'd post the 3rd chapter with a similar translation. Just to have more fun.

No. It started in issue 2.

That's one realistic and anatomically accurate looking kitten. I'm quite impressed, Morinaga-sensei.

The translator's Scottish accent attached to this kind of ruined it for me and was comical (not in a good way..), but its a free translation and managed to get the plot from A to B.

I love that logic, if you love her, why would u abandon her.., why would u leave her? it doesn't make any senze indeed
